I just got a GoPro Hero3 Black as a holiday gift and I am looking to mount it on my Aquatica A7D housing. Ideally, I would like to mount a ball right on the top of the housing and connect the camera via a small arm or such. My main question is - I know there is a threaded hole on the top of the housing but what size ball adapter fits this hole? Is it an 1/4 - 20? Maybe jean or someone can help me out. If anyone has a Go pro mounted to their housing and has any pics of the set-up I would appreciate if tyou posted it to give me some ideas of the ways I could attach it. I want it somewhere just above my dome port so I have a similar line of sight.
Thanks!

yes it is 1/4-20 and you can fit either a 1" ball from TLC (#17651) or others manufacturer in there, then with a clamp and possibly another 1" ball with 1/4"-20, you can attach the Go Pro to its tripod shoe.
